State health officials for Guerrero confirm 4 currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 1 in La Unión, 35 in Acapulco, and 179 in the entire state.

Lupita and I wish everyone ¡Felices Pascuas! For locals it was mostly just another day of work.

This Saturday night was probably the worst night of the year for downtown residents. Noisy bars, noisy people and noisy boombox cars kept many of us from getting a full night's sleep. Same old unattended problem. But neither the beaches in Zihuatanejo nor the Paseo del Pescador appeared as crowded this Sunday as they were yesterday. Busloads of tourists were returning to their homes along the highways while lines of cars were backed up trying to get here. Usually the second week of this vacation period tends to attract more middle class tourists which we hope will translate into more sales for local merchants.

The mar de fondo turned out to be rather small. Not the massive amounts of water it usually signifies. But in Zihuatanejo's bay the waves were barely noticeable. Maybe 1-ft waves at the most.

Only 5 more weeks till the start of hurricane season! Local rivers and lagoons are running dry, so the rains can't come too soon. The local water service has also been spotty.

While the daytime highs continue around around 32°C, not too hot, the nighttime lows aren't dipping as low as they were in the past few weeks. It won't be long till the humidity rises in earnest and the winds die down making it feel quite hot and stuffy. But then that usually means the rains will soon follow and the hills will turn green again. :dance:

[image]Villas Los Arcos located about a block from the beach in La Ropa is like an oasis in a paradise. Such a lovely vacation lodging! It features one-bedroom suites with A/C and kitchen and a nice private pool area. Rent the entire villa or individual suites.

It certainly materialized here on the open beach. Loud crashing waves that I can feel in the floor. One was so loud last night; I went out to see if there was ocean in my yard. Still seeing some big waves this morning.

There were only 1- and 2-ft waves inside the bay this morning, but it's more than we've seen in recent weeks. It was predicted to be a rather smallish event, but on the open ocean it can cause extreme currents along the shore, so I prefer to side with caution and announce them when I can. This website receives thousands of daily visitors to whom I feel not only incredible gratitude but a responsibility to inform as best I can.
